Predictions on Friday 22 January 2021, Two Days After Biden Took Office

This is Part 3 in a series noting that 2025 is the 40th Anniversary of Harvard University Press' 1985 publication of Richard A. Epstein's "Takings: Private Property and the Power of Eminent Domain." We our celebration of this anniversary with a fair use and transformative reading, finishing chapter 2 in what Richard calls "Philosophical Preliminaries." He titles chapter 2 "Hobbseian Man, Lockean World" because he's taking a look at political philosophy and the American constitutional order, how these things interact. Every college student should read this book. It's a superb introduction to the political philosophy of the American regime. Praise the Lord. We'd like to thank Harvard University Press for making this material available and Richard Epstein for writing it. Make sure you buy the book and follow along. It's very important for you to have your own copy on your own bookshelf, and to begin to master this material. Support your local book dealer. See if they have a copy of it, or if they'd mind keeping an eye out for you. I always encourage buying physical books, objects you can have, hold, cherish, learn from, display on your bookshelf as a topic of conversation, things you can pass on to the next generation with your notes in them, things that do not depend upon electricity. Toward that end: Go to Harvard University Press for more selections available for purchase. Please support the publisher and your local booksellers.

We're continuing our fair use and transformative reading of the rest of an essay in one of my favorite publications. This is an engagement with an essay by TRP podcast guest Charles R. Kesler and one of my favorite writers on American Politics entitled "America's Red Shift" in Fall 2024 Claremont Review of Books. Kesler was also one of my Ph.D. professors at Claremont Colleges (4 courses). We pick up reading and commenting at "Kamala's Red Shift" on page 8, continuing to the end on page 12 in the hard cover edition. CRB has generously made this material available for you to follow along on their website. We want to thank Claremont Review of Books for making this material available.
